too late I'm gonna prove it to you Too late I'll do what you want me to do Too late You can't run anymore 'Cos it's - too late - for you now My heart is burning An' the fire is hot My temperature is rising, rising, rising I'm ready to rock All or nothing I'm gonna make you see I've made up my mind, for sure, this time You're gonna spend the night with me So don't try running away You know you get nothing that way 'Cos -

in the first degree I can never forget all the times When I took what you gave me for granted So I stand accused an' I plead guilty to the crime You can lock me away if you want Just as long as your arms are around me An' I won't mind if you throw away the key I'm guilty of love It's a crime of passion Guilty of love An' there's no doubt about it, no doubt about I'm guilty of love, I'm guilty of love I'm guilty - in the first degree I'm guilty of love, I'm guilty of love I'm guilty - in the first degree ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Hungry For Love (Coverdale) 3:31 I keep hanging on the promise of love Your eyes tell me that I'm gonna see I feel a hunger like a starving man Honey, when you stand close to me I start to shiver, I start to shake Chills up an' down my spine I'm in the mood for action In need of satisfaction Baby, I'm gonna make you mine Now I believe in you An' everything that you do Wow 'Cos I'm hungry for love I'm hungry for love (2) I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough I've got the weakness of an ordinary man I need a comfort of a womanly mind But I get nervous when I think about So many women an' so little time But I believe in you An' everything that you do 'Cos I'm hungry for love I'm hungry for love (2) I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough Hungry for love (3) I start to shiver, I start to shake Chills up an' down my spine, yeah (Hungry for love) I get so nervous when I think about So many women an' not enough time I believe in you An' everything that you do 'Cos I'm hungry for love I'm hungry for love (2), baby I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Give Me More Time (Coverdale, Galley) 3:46 I want you I need your rhyme But you keep saying, babe It's gonna take time I know the heartache I put you through Believe me, babe I'm gonna make it up to you You are the reason I'm down on my knees I'm begging you to give me a chance If only you would Give me just a little more time (4) To prove it to you So many feelings I can't explain I never thought I'd cause you any pain Now I'm alone here An' I can't hide The sun don't shine for me without you by my side You are the reason I'm down on my knees I'm begging you to give me a chance If only you would Give me just a little more time (4) To prove it to you An' I'm gonna prove it Ooh, no I want you Right by my side 'Cos you're the only one who keeps me satisfied I need your loving I need your charms Can't stand the thought of you in someone else's arms You are the reason I'm down on my knees I'm begging you to give me a chance If only you would Give me just a little more time (5) To prove it to you An' I'm gonna prove it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Spit It Out (Coverdale, Galley) 4:29 I never knew what a kiss could mean Until the first time I kissed you You took my love ... in the palm of your hand An' showed me what a woman could do Now I don't want sugar coated loving Just silver tongue tenderness You gotta give me ... a certain satisfaction The kind of love you seal me with a kiss An' spit it out, spit it out, spit it out If you don't like it Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out If you don't like it I can remember, I can recall When I first set my eyes on you I'll never forget ... the trill of it all Dreaming of the things we could do Baby, you must be crazy Fooling with a man like me 'Cos I roll my dice for a heart of ice An' I make it clear to see Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out If you don't like it Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out If you don't like it I never knew what a kiss could mean 'Til the first time I kissed you You took my love in the palm of your hand An' showed me what a woman could do Your sweet caress an' tenderness Can take the pain away The things that you do ... make a queen out of you Make me a king for a day If you don't like it...
